A new quick-serve smash burger option has opened on Avenue C with the debut Monday of Crazy Burger.
Mustafa, the owner (below left), and Isaac were at the counter here at 193 Avenue C at 12th Street when I visited on Tuesday...
They report that the early bestsellers are the cheeseburger and the Crazy Impossible, which is not an Impossible Burger patty — instead, a smash burger with grilled onions and cheese, pickles and secret sauce, no bun, served with french fries. (See the menu at the end of the post.)
Everything is 100% Halal. And while there is nothing vegetarian on the menu, Mustafa says he plans to add an item soon.
Here's a look at the space, which has several tables for dining.

Daily hours: Noon to midnight. You can keep tabs on Crazy Burger via Instagram.
As we recall, the space was last Sethi's Wholesale Paper Goods Corp.
The burger looks good and the interior design looks cool. I will give you a try but I want cheddar cheese or spicy pepper jack, no American cheese please!
ReplyDeleteI may be crazy but somehow I think that an Impossible burger that's not an ™Impossible Burger is going to be problematic for them, either from customers who think it's a non-meat burger, or from the brand itself. I have a feeling that they would be pretty protective of their trademarked name at this point in time.
ReplyDeleteOn C & 11th there will not be a great demands for vegan burgers. We are carnivores here...
DeleteYou're right Trixie! Based on the decor they should call it the Team America burger! I'd buy it
ReplyDeleteSome very nice guys operate this store and the burgers are excellent - good for a quick, high-class burger fix. Great to have them in the neighborhood!
